2295. Choglah
Strong's Lexicon
Choglah: Hoglah

Original Word: חָגְלָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Choglah
Pronunciation: KHOG-lah
Phonetic Spelling: (khog-law')
Definition: Hoglah
Meaning: Choglah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָגַל (chagal), meaning "to encircle" or "to dance."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Hoglah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of inheritance and legal rights for women can be seen in various New Testament passages that discuss inheritance in a spiritual context (e.g., Galatians 3:28-29).

Usage: Hoglah is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically one of the daughters of Zelophehad. The name is often associated with the meaning "partridge," a type of bird, which may symbolize grace or beauty.

Cultural and Historical Background: Hoglah is one of the five daughters of Zelophehad, a member of the tribe of Manasseh. The daughters of Zelophehad are notable for their appeal to Moses regarding inheritance rights, as their father died without male heirs. This event led to a significant legal precedent in Israelite law, allowing daughters to inherit if there were no sons, thereby ensuring the preservation of family property within the tribe.
